Saco Lodge #9

Founded in 1802, S**o Lodge No. 9 A.F.& A. M. is located on Main Street in S**o, Maine in the Masonic Block building. Our founding can be traced to St.

S**o Lodge History

S**o Lodge No. 9, Ancient Free & Accepted Masons, is located on Main Street, S**o, Maine, in the Masonic Block. Only the second building we have occupied in our long history, the Masonic Block also houses the offices of S**o Biddeford Savings Bank. Andrew's Lodge in Boston, where many of our country’s Founding Fathers were members. Among them were Paul Revere, Dr. Joseph Warre

n, and John Hancock. Located directly above the Green Dragon Tavern, home to the Sons of Liberty, the men of St. Andrew's Lodge intertwined Masonic values and patriotism, and played a pivotal role in fomenting the dissent that was to become the basis of the new American republic. S**o Lodge's first Worshipful Master, Jeremiah Hill, was a member of St. Andrew's Lodge, as were several others from the future State of Maine. On June 14, 1802, the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts granted a charter for us to form S**o Lodge #9. Jeremiah Hill, our first Master, was a captain in the Revolutionary War, and a hero of the battle of Saratoga. In addition to being a member of St. Andrew's Lodge in Boston, he was the Town Clerk of Biddeford, and a Representative in the Massachusetts legislature. Joseph Leland, who fought at Bunker Hill, and Ephraim Ridlon, who was an aide to General Knox, were also charter members of S**o Lodge and took part in the Revolution. FROM THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND LODGE OF MASSACHUSETTS JUNE 13 - 16, 1802

“At a Quarterly Communication of The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts at Concert Hall, on the evening of the 14th of June, A.L. 5802 (1802) a petition, from a number of Brethren in the town of Pepperellboro (now S**o), for charter to hold a lodge in that place, by the name of S**o Lodge, was granted this evening.”
“Present at this meeting was one W. Paul Revere Jun., son of one Paul Revere.”

Agreeable to the Charter the first meeting of S**o Lodge was held on July 20, 1802 at the house of John Cleaves

S**o Lodge's Charter

S**o Lodge #9 announced the winners of the Bikes for Books program at Fairfield School and Young School yesterday afternoon and this morning. We gave away 40 bikes to the 2nd grade students at each school! I love seeing how excited the students are when they watch their class mates win! It is easily my favorite event that we do as Masons. The winners can pick up their bikes at the Bike Rodeo at Thornton Academy on June 14th between 10-12! All of the winners and anyone who comes to the Bike Rodeo can get a free helmet from the Michael Goulet Foundation! Thank you to everyone who helped with this great program!
